Stay cool and dry all summer with the Sphere Short Sleeve Crewe, Icebreaker's best hot weather tee ever. Combining 65% merino with 20% plant-based TENCEL® and 15% Nylon, they created Cool-Lite™, Icebreaker's lightest, most breathable fabric. Cooler and faster drying than pure merino, Cool-Lite™ still retains Icebreaker's signature odor resistance and soft feel. They use a heathered version, with casual set in sleeves and understated tonal logo to create Sphere, the summer shirt that's equally at home on a long hot climb as it is on a really slow, deserted beach.

Solid, dependable designGot this shirt in Vancouver, and found it to be great on those variable days that start off cool and end in sticky humidity.
I was interested in how it would work in hot, dry Calgary. Housewives, fear no more! It's warm enough for 8C in the morning, and lets the pit-sweat evaporate on the pub balcony at 30C in the afternoon sun.
I ordered two more.
Bonus: hides the under-arm and back dinner-plates.
Other details:
+ washes well, and dries fast.
+ fits well, good length (for me anyway: size "L", 80kg, 175cm, thick at the chest & shoulders).

A really COOL shirtThe shirt really lived up to its billing, it is so comfortable and cool during the hot days of this summer. I will literally change into this shirt from another if the temperature has soared during the day, and i need to go out.
it is also my goto shirt for hiking in the North Shore Mountains (Vancouver, BC).
thanks so much for creating this shirt.

Merino all the wayI cannot say more good things about this shirt other than "spectacular".
The feel, breathability, and overall quality is apparent from the first wear and never fades.
I use for my day to day but have also used while bike touring as it will last a while without much stink.
The brand has me hooked.

T-shirt does not run true to sizeMy husband loves his Icebreaker t-shirts so I decided to get him new ones. This is a very nice lightweight t-shirt but I had to return it since it was too small despite buying his usual size. I would suggest getting (at least) one size larger than usual. Keep in mind that this shirt has a fitted cut.

Good for warmer but not for hotI must confess I'm a big fan of Icebreaker and probably a little biased. Great feel with the blend of materials used. Good also for cooler temp because of the merino. It's not a 'hot weather' shirt for me however as its too warm - good until about 25-30C. Seems to 'tougher' than other pure merino tops

Ready for the heatSo far so good. This shirt fits great and is really comfortable most of the time. I say most of the time because I do get a little bit of itch from merino wool. This shirt can be worn several days and still smell fresh. Looking forward to seeing how it performs on my backpacking trip through SE Asia.

Excellent multi-purpose shirt.Awesome t-shirt. Already owned the sphere polo, so I pretty much knew what I was getting. Light, comfortable, canoe heather is a beautiful color. Great for travel. Have never regretted a single icebreaker purchase.

Excellent shirtLove these shirts and how they hang off your body. I am an IN Junkie and mixing Merino sees taboo. But I have to say Thule is a great product .my only caveat is the nylon. Love the vibrant soft colours
